Default Will not start after engine rebuild

I'm having trouble starting an 'A' after an engine rebuild.

Here is a list of what I have been through already:
1. Timing gear and crankshaft gear aligned correctly
2. Distributor lower shaft and upper shaft aligned correctly
3. Voltage checks:
a. 6v at both terminals of the coil
b. 6v at the coil wire on the distributor cap
c. 6v at the points
d. Spark at the spark plug connectors to the spark plugs
e. Points set at .020"
f. Spark plugs set at .035"
4. Timing set correctly - timing dimple is the only "mark" on the timing gear
5. Fuel:
a. Carburettor cleaned out twice with compressed air
b. Carburettor fixed firmly to intake manifold
c. Strong flow of fuel to the carburettor
d. GAV set correctly

There isn't even as much as a fire when cranking the engine.

What am I doing wrong?
